The Wolf And I

Chapter Three

"Neji!"

'Neji's a wolf. Neji's a wolf. How can this be? He's a wolf and he just killed another wolf.'

"TenTen are you okay?"

"Yeah. Yeah I'm fine. Shocked but fine."

"TenTen seriously are you okay?"

"I'm fine Neji. Just I can't think how you got through without being caught."

"Have you seen this before?"

"Yeah many times only it's a lot more bloodier and I'm the one killing it."

"What?"

Neji hissed and stiffened.

"It's okay. I promise I'm not going to kill you."

"You're a wolf hunter? How can you keep that secret?"

Neji said between his teeth.

"Yeah and it's easy: You don't let people in to your life unless you can trust them."

I shrugged.

"But you're a wolf hunter."

"Yes and you're a wolf. So you want me to call my aunt for this other wolf?"

"No."

Neji was kneeled by the now kid.

"Who is he?"

I pointed to the kid.

"Zaku from the Sound Village. We've been tracking him for a while."

"You classify the cities into villages too?"

"Yeah."

"Do you have princesses and princes?"

"We have a princess. Do you?"

"A princess also."

I closed my eyes.

"And you're talking to her."

I said slowly.

"WHAT!"

Neji yelled and I opened my eyes to see Neji change back into a wolf and lunge for me. I jumped out of the way.

Before I could get back up Neji was on top of me. His face was filled with agony. He was fighting for control.

"NEJI GET AHOLD OF YOURSELF!"

Next thing I know: I'm underneath a very heavy wolf.

"NEJI! GET OFF OF ME!"

I started punching Neji's stomach.

Neji finally got ahold of himself after a few minutes but I was still punching.

"TENTEN!"

He grabbed my wrists and pulled them above my head. So if you need a picture: Neji was on top of me with my arms above my head. Guess how awkward I was?

"TenTen."

"Yes Neji?"

"Are you okay?"

"Yes but will you please get off of me?"

He let go of my wrists and rolled off of me. I sat up and he did too.

"You know you almost killed me right there?"

"I know TenTen. Sorry. I kinda of lost control when you said you're the wolf hunter's princess."

"It's okay. So are you the only wolf in your family?"
